Cassette:
That's 1/3 in one go, actually, but that's the one I'm copping to. As I bought my first walkman.
CD:
Shortly after buying my first discman (we were a Sony household, Betamax and everything

), on a school trip. Just saw it on sale at Tower Records and said to myself "I need to own this one".

The first one was a live album:

Bought it as a kid because I thought that the band was just badass and it was pretty cheap to get because of a sale, only 5 bucks or something like that.
The first real studio album, I can't remember that, maybe the first Danzig album or a classic Kiss album, my cousin showed me these 2 bands and I loved them.

Rust Never Sleeps, or maybe Live Rust. Can't quite remember. Anyhoo, Neil Young and Crazy Horse. The reason, saw a video of Hey Hey My My and it blew me away aged 15. Interesting times in the common room at High School with the Mods/Heav Metal boys/New Romantics and me fighting my (very) wee corner:)

After a summer road trip with my mom's younger brother in a scruffy used toyota or datsun that came with 8 tracks of Fleetwood Mac's Rumors, their preceding eponymous album and a copy of Rod Stewart's first that only played 3 1/2 songs,
Dead Boys, "Young, Loud, Snotty", "Kiss Alive II," and "The Song Remains the Same" (to antagonize people with the half hour Dazed and Confused)

I've been scratching my head like crazy because my first album was bought about 50 years ago, it was either Yardbirds For Your Love, or Bob Dylan Times are a Changin. I bought those over a two month period in 1966 because I had to save my allowance, but which was first I just can't recall, I was 13 at the time. Obviously I no longer have those since they wore out a long time ago after being played a 25 or so times on a cheap turntable that had no counter balance weighted tonearm which would literally carve into a record over a short period of time, so the sound would get horrid thus to the trash they went. Those two albums I bought because they were on sale for $1 each!

Not sure when but I got this a year or two after it first came out. Still one of my favorites to this day.

1979 Stiff Little Fingers-Inflammable Material.I was 11.
A few months earlier in 1978 my older Cousin,who was into Thin Lizzy/Rush etc used to buy records every Friday when he got paid.One Friday he brought home a few singles and amongst them was Suspect Device.We listened to it,flipped it over and as soon as I heard the B-side Wasted Life I just knew.Made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.When it finished he just said"that was crap". I asked if I could have it and he said yes.A couple of months he brought home Alternative Ulster and just said "bought you this by that crap band".
I later bought the Album with my paper round money and almost 40 years on it's still my favourite album and I listen to it at least once a month.
It still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end.

The Clash "London Burning", and The Police "Synchronicity" at the same time which I remember being a lot of saved quarters for a ten year old.
